March 14 (Bloomberg) -- Virginia’s revenue declined 3.4
percent in February compared with the same month a year earlier,
as winter storms may have reduced sales-tax collections.

General-fund revenue dropped to $780 million last month
from $808 million in 2013, driven by a 13 percent decline in
sales and use tax collections, according to data released
yesterday. Individual income-tax collections rose 8 percent.

Governor Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, said in a statement
that the decline probably resulted from severe weather.
